A viral transcriptional regulator from a dsRNA virus antagonizes the innate immune response by manipulating the host co-transcription factor DHX9

ABSTRACT: Viral transcriptional regulators (vTRs) have emerged as potent factors that shape the host anti-viral gene expression programs. Delineating the molecular mechanisms by which vTRs inhibit or promote transcription would provide fundamental insights for developing anti-viral strategies. Using Mammalian orthoreovirus (REOV) as a model system, we identified a new viral mechanism by which viruses antagonize the host innate immune response. We found that the REOV outer capsid protein σ3 functions as a vTR to suppress NF-κB gene expression via its direct interaction with the host helicase DHX9. Mechanistically, σ3 impairs the initial recruitment of Pol II by disrupting the interaction between DHX9 and Pol II. More interestingly, σ3 suppresses DHX9 helicase activity, resulting in the aberrant accumulation of R-loops at promoter-proximal regions, thereby affecting Pol II pause-release and ultimately suppressing NF-κB gene expression. Together, our findings reveal an unprecedented strategy employed by a viral protein that regulates anti-viral gene expression by directly modulating the host transcription factor DHX9.

A viral transcriptional regulator from a dsRNA virus antagonizes the innate immune response by manipulating the host co-transcription factor DHX9 [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Viral transcriptional regulators (vTRs) have emerged as potent factors that shape the host anti-viral gene expression programs. Delineating the molecular mechanisms by which vTRs inhibit or promote transcription would provide fundamental insights for developing anti-viral strategies. Using Mammalian orthoreovirus (REOV) as a model system, we identified a new viral mechanism by which viruses antagonize the host innate immune response. We found that the REOV outer capsid protein σ3 functions as a vTR that limits RNA polymerase II (Pol II) recruitment to the promoter regions of NF-κB-dependent genes via its direct interaction with the host helicase DHX9. σ3 competes with DHX9 for its interaction with Pol II, which led to marked attenuation of Pol II loading onto chromatin. More interestingly, σ3 also suppresses DHX9 helicase activity, leading to aberrant accumulation of R-loops at promoter-proximal regions and a decrease in NF-κB-dependent gene expression. Together, our findings uncover an unprecedented strategy of a viral protein that regulates anti-viral gene expression by directly manipulating host transcription factor DHX9.

Transcriptional outcomes and kinetic patterning of gene expression in response to NF-κB activation [RNA-seq]

Project description:Transcription factor NF-κB regulates cellular responses to environmental cues. For many stimuli NF-κB resides only transiently in the nucleus. Consequently, time-dependent transcriptional outputs are a fundamental feature of NF-κB activation. Here we identify mechanisms that direct kinetic patterns of NF-κB-dependent gene expression and transcriptional outcomes in response to a transient NF-κB-inducing stimulus in B cells. By combining RELA binding, RNA polymerase II (Pol II) recruitment, and perturbation of NF-κB activation, we demonstrate that kinetic differences amongst early- and late-activated RELA target genes can be understood based on chromatin configuration prior to cell activation and RELA-dependent priming, respectively. Additionally, we identified genes that were repressed by RELA activation and others that responded to RELA-activated transcription factors. Cumulatively, our studies define an NF-κB-responsive inducible gene cascade in activated B cells.

RNA decay during gammaherpesvirus infection reduces RNA polymerase II occupancy of host promoters but spares viral promoters

Project description:We perform RNA Polymerase II ChIp sequencing on MHV68 infected MC57G B6 mouse fibroblasts alongside a MHV68 mutant (R443I) that is deficient for RNA decay. We profile the occupancy of Pol II on host and viral genes at 24h post infection.We find that host genes have less Pol II occpancy genome wide, while viral genes remain robustly transcribed irrespective of RNA decay.

Poxvirus attack of anti-viral defense pathways unleashes an effector-triggered NF-κB response [RNAseq_2]

Project description:Effector-triggered immunity (ETI) is a form of pathogen sensing that involves detection of pathogen-encoded virulence factors or “effectors”. To discover novel ETI pathways in mammals, we developed a screening approach in which individual virulence factors are expressed in human monocytes and transcriptional responses are assessed by RNA-seq. Using this approach, we identify a poxvirus effector, myxoma virus M3.1, which elicits an anti-viral NF-κB response. We find that NF-κB is unleashed by an ETI pathway that senses M3.1 attack of two anti-viral complexes: ZAP and TBK1. NF-κΒ activation occurs because the proteins inhibited by M3.1—N4BP1, ZC3H12A, and TBK1—are negative regulators of NF-κB. Our results illustrate how negative regulators can function as pathogen sensors and establish a systematic approach for the discovery of ETI pathways.

Genome-wide analysis of RNA polymerase II occupancy during HSV-1 infection in the presence and absence of ICP4.

Project description:The goal of this study was to identify how the occupancy of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) on the host genome changes during HSV-1 infection and is impacted by the viral immediate early protein ICP4. Pol II ChIP-seq experiments after infection with the wild-type (WT) virus and mutant ICP4 (n12) virus, compared to mock infection, revealed global increases and decreases in Pol II occupancy on the host genome that depended upon ICP4.
